Biko Drum, by Christy Moore

 

 

 

And they went home on an Easter road

On a silent night trying not to show

Who goes wher eadn who goes when

Thinking sameday soon they'll get it back again

 

>From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold

Little bloy blue can't be sold

Under tin roof and a plastic wall

Thiking same day soon we're gonna leave it all

 

And the renegades sing all the renegades songs

And the ones who know hope they're doing wrong

The blacks and the coloured play the Biko drum

Listen to the Biko drum

 

Transvaal kids on a Transvaal day

Little by little they show the way

To a city of dreams and a solid ground

Thinking some day soon we're gonna come around

 

Steve, he's living in a prison cell

All the friends that know hope he's doing well

Down here they listen to the Biko drum

Down here, they listen to the songs he sung

 

Nelson listen to the people sing

Nelson Mandela, the people's king

Twenty five years in a white mans jail

Twenty five years couldn't make him say
